Well, I worked as an engineer and engineers are taught to analyze everything to death. My **** retentive supervisor was to the point where he analyzed my personality and attacked me with things like "I can't see you as being 37 yrs old", (referring to my persona/work: ) "I've never seen anything like it before". This guy was still back in high school sizing people up so I quit and filed bankruptcy - he could have that job.

Thanks for the feedback and stories. Makes me feel more at ease.
